Where do we stand right now with the mainline kernels. What works and what doesn't? I was a bit busy lately with everything and have set aside this project. I still need to fix that openVFD driver. I the latest trunk already stable enough to reflash it to eMMC?

Thx. I am a few days off for a small vecation. Will take a look

I made OpenVFD work. There are some driver changes needed to get it to work. I commited everyting into ArmBoardBringUp git repo with the tutorial on how to get it to work README.txt. There are still some minor tweaks needed as currently the time is upside down (conf file changes) and also the wrong icons are on (also inversed). I will play with these after a few days, but you can try them out BTW Nice work on the video acceleration. IR remote codes are also there in order to be committed and compiled. Maybe KODI is next?

@Deoptim@maka I tried it your way and that is installing chromium via the snap - actually installed version 123 as it GitHub thread states that since version 121 all changes are mainstream. I also added these rules to 70-snap.chromium.rules: SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", ATTR{name}=="rockchip,rk3568-vpu-dec", SYMLINK+="video-dec%n" SUBSYSTEM=="media", ATTR{model}=="hantro-vpu", SYMLINK+="media-dec%n" I tried to run chromium with a flag --disable_webgpu_shared_images=1 and the chrome://gpu still reports WebGPU and Vulkan as disabled. I am not completely sure if this is ok or not, but video playback was quite ok (once the page loads) and full-screen playback (1440p) is between 35-50% on all cores. To double check everything I only recently enabled the vpu node in the device tree and I did not spend any time investigating this at that time, is this enough for the mainline drivers or do we need to add different codecs as well? &vpu { status = "okay"; }; about-gpu-2024-04-27T12-05-58-533Z.txt

I tried the install package from this PPA , but it is a rather old version (114.x). As I can tell I think there is HW acceleration active. I am enclosing the whole dump of chrome://gpu. The system only reports that WebGPU and video_encode are disabled - the latter I think is clear as there is no DTB tree pointing to the hw codecs (yet). Lets see what you version will bring as you need to recompile the whole thing. I will try with firefox now. chromeReport.log

I started with the command written above, but for some reason it does not except the right path. I am using the ZSH and also exported path to /run/user/1000 in both .zshrc and .bashrc, but it does not accept it. h96-tvbox-3566:~:% sudo glmark2-es2-wayland error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.

I have installed the PPA and stuff from this thread: When I run it it produces the following trace. When playing videos all 4 cores are at 100% so I´d say it is not HW accelerated. Maybe there are also missing settings, but I have not seen any proper tutorial on how to set it up. h96-tvbox-3566:~:% chromium-browser [35467:35467:0426/133812.562432:ERROR:chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(162)] Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled.

Currently as a desktop. Wanted to try it out, but the kernel update over apt upgrade bricked my device. So I need to reflash everything. I am still doing everything on the current 6.6 kernel. IR works I just need to create a keymap and I will test KODI out - just need to recompile it in a VM. I am still waiting for my sound bar that has SPDIF to test it out. I think currently it is not working as I saw that spdif@fe460000 is currently disabled. I am also looking for the current Linux-headers file 6.6.28 so that I can try with openvfd. I was unable to find them with the previous kernel version 6.6.27. Once I install everything back I will retry this. What is funny about this box - every reinstallation brings a new MAC address. I am also trying to set up a CasaOS - currently in YouTube mode on how to set up Cloudflare tunnels.

@Hqnicolas I created a pull request for a working HDMI sound: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/pull/1/files

@lucky62 Change your line 736 to pin->pin = of_get_named_gpio(pdev->dev.of_node, name, 0);

Nice! You are using ubuntu GNOME image from the armbian repo or did you build it now yourself with the right dts file?

@Hqnicolas With this dts I was able to start a wifi with a simple symlink sudo ln -s fw_bcm4335b0_ag.bin brcmfmac4335-sdio.h96-TVbox,rk3566.bin I need to check a bit more into the chip IDs as in my honest opinion this AP6335 should be recognized as 4339 or that I try to dig up the clm_blob file that is currently missing? Bluetooth also works as hci1, because hci0 is recognized as the SDIO device - which means there are some settings in that node not completely valid. On the other hand, the wifi module has both communication lines. rk3566-h96-tvbox.dts Sadly I am not allowed to push to your git repo. If you add me to a collaboration list, then I will make the changes as a PR (my github username is kulica). Anyway, I am attaching the corrected file to this post.

Yes it needs to be low and then the broadcom dongle host driver needs to search for any hw on the sdio, which fires the init seaquence and enables the wifi module. This dhd is for some reason not started during boot.

It is a twofold problem. First is a base definition compiled with kernel itself, which has to simply put a LUT which ID loads which driver bin file. If it is not there, you will see a dmesg error message. So if this is not recompiled with kernel itself it won't even try to load a bin file nor will it throw any error messages. Can you check if the kernel sees any new hw device IDs?

@Hqnicolas Do you specifically select Broadcom 43xx SDIO kernel drivers as they were not enabled per default on my side. Lets see what will come out of this build process.
